Find Software Developer

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user wants to find
• Enrich US software development firms — custom software
• Web development
• Mobile app development

Example prompts

• “find a software dev shop in Austin”
• “shortlist three custom-software firms with healthcare experience”
• “we need a mobile app developer for our iOS launch”
• “/find-software-developer”

Requirements

• Python 3
• Node.js
• A credential in SERVICEGRAPH_API_KEY
• Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(curl:*), mcp__servicegraph__list_fields, mcp__servicegraph__list_field_values, mcp__servicegraph__check_filter, mcp__servicegraph__translate_intent, mcp__servicegraph__search_dataset, mcp__servicegraph__get_row, mcp__servicegraph__unlock_rows, mcp__servicegraph__get_credit_balance

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Pick the call path — the ServiceGraph MCP tools if loaded, otherwise the
2. 2GET /v1/datasets/pro_services/fields?include_values=1 — confirm the
3. 3Build the filter (Filter DSL below) and validate it with
4. 4GET /v1/datasets/pro_services/search — present the free brief cards and
5. 5Quote the unlock cost (10 credits per row, 30-day TTL) and get an explicit
6. 6POST /v1/datasets/pro_services/unlocks with the chosen apexes; report the
7. 7GET /v1/me/credits to report the remaining balance when asked.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 23ea8d4. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

  • Bash(curl:*)
  • mcp__servicegraph__list_fields
  • mcp__servicegraph__list_field_values
  • mcp__servicegraph__check_filter
  • mcp__servicegraph__translate_intent
  • mcp__servicegraph__search_dataset
  • mcp__servicegraph__get_row
  • mcp__servicegraph__unlock_rows
  • mcp__servicegraph__get_credit_balance

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • curl

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

  • api.servicegraph.co
  • mcp.servicegraph.co

  Also links to:

  • servicegraph.co
  • github.com

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

  • SERVICEGRAPH_API_KEY

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

• Compatibility

  Designed for Claude Code

  From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Find Software Developer loads about 3.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 261 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,230 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~261

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~3.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:64

  ICEGRAPH_API_KEY` in the environment or `.env.local` for the REST

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:116

  LLM context** — never read `.env*` into your context; dispatch via

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:119

  ** through a shell wrapper that sources `.env.local`:

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:122

  ( set -a; [ -f .env.local ] && . ./.env.local; set +a;

• NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:130

  and add `SERVICEGRAPH_API_KEY=vk_…` to `.env.local` here

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

find-software-developer

description

Use whenever the user wants to find, shortlist, vet, or enrich US software development firms — custom software, web development, mobile app development, backend/API development, DevOps/cloud, system integration, and hosting. Triggers on "find a software dev shop in Austin", "shortlist three custom-software firms with healthcare experience", "we need a mobile app developer for our iOS launch", or "pull contact info for these 10 dev shop domains", even when described indirectly (build a tool, ship a feature, technical partner). Drives the ServiceGraph API (api.servicegraph.co) — a 100k+ US firm catalog filterable by industry, services, location, size, ratings. Defer to find-web-developer for strictly website/landing-page projects. Defer AI/ML, ML pipelines, model building, and data-engineering asks — those are a sibling industry, not software development. Skip in-house engineer hires, code-writing/debugging tasks, cloud-product comparisons, hardware/civil engineering, non-US firms, individual freelancers.
